"There has been this sense that because Titan has such abundant organics, there is no shortage of food sources that could sustain life," Affholder said. "Not all of these organic molecules may ...

While all the ingredients are there, the moon's composition likely prevents them from coming together in any meaningful way.

"We conclude that Titan's uniquely rich organic inventory may not in fact be available to play the role in the moon's ...
